Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna has trashed remarks by National Assembly majority leader Kimani Ichung'wah on involving ICC after Azimio's fresh demands.

In a tweet, Sifuna claimed ICC can never jail anyone.

"One thing I truly admire about these Kenya Kwanza clowns like Ichung'wa is their audacity. Who are you scaring with ICC? Write all the letters you want," he tweeted.

"If Ruto got away with all the overwhelming evidence, that court will never jail anyone. Andika barua nitakupea stamp."

Dismissing the proposal by opposition chief Raila Odinga to have talks akin to the National Accord 2008, Ichung'wah threatened to write to The Hague if Raila chooses anarchy.

He claimed that the ODM leader was blackmailing the country using anarchy and violence to get into the system of the government.

"That is why I have said I will propose an agenda to our Parliamentary Group meeting next week that we write to the ICC to take measures to ensure that Raila Odinga and his sponsors do not slide our country back into anarchy," he said.

The Hague "terminated" the charges against Ruto in April 2016 due to insufficient evidence.

He had been charged with orchestrating the 2007-08 post-election violence.

Since the Pro-Azimio demonstrations began in January, both the government and opposition have at one time threatened to involve ICC in their pull and push.
